Quote from Jay in The More You Ignore Me
Jay: You want to know what drove Jay Pritchett? People telling me I wasn't good enough. There's something about a person telling you you can't do something. It just lights the competitive fires drives us to take risks opens us up to new opportunities. Everything I did, I did to prove the naysayers wrong. So, to everyone who didn't think I was good enough- Joe: Look, dad! I tied my shoes! Jay: Good job, Joe! Ah. How do you like me now?
